Investigation into a potential security incident has been launched by British internet provider Brsk after threat actors claimed to have stolen 230,105 customer records from its systems, reports The Register.
Despite not immediately confirming the cybercrime forum post brandishing the theft of customer details, including names, contact details, installation information, location data, phone numbers, and other notes, Brsk later confirmed to ISP Review that one of its customer databases was accessed without permission.
The company said the breach involved only basic contact details and added that "no financial information, passwords, or account login credentials were affected." It also stated that there was "no evidence to suggest that any of the information has been misused." Brsk told customers that its main network and broadband services were not affected.
The company is giving affected users 12 months of free financial, personal, and web-monitoring services provided by Experian and has notified the Information Commissioner's Office, police, and regulators.
